To prove this, the Pt-In alloy having nominal composition Pt9In was synthesized by heating H2PtCl 6-InCl3 mixture in hydrogen stream. The XRD characterization confirmed that Pt-In alloy was formed. The electrochemical measurements by rotating disk technique in alkaline 0.1 mol dm-3 KOH solution evidenced faster ORR kinetics for factor 2.6 relative to the one on pure platinum. This offers the possibility of searching for new ORR electrocatalysts by alloying platinum with p-elements. © 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved. |
